The position compared to that of home is a reference to displacement, I believe.

Displacement = x total - x initial

So I believe the answer is 5 blocks due north (if you’re walking linearly from your home), unless the questions is referring to relative displacement, in which then you’d need to use the Pythagorean theorem to find the hypotenuse between both positions. And then you’d have to find theta for the degrees between the south direction and the other unmentioned direction. But I don’t think that’s the case.

Distance refers to x total and doesn’t care for direction, as this refers to a scalar quantity opposed to a vector. Thus the equation is just

d = x

So 8 blocks + 3 blocks = a distance of eleven blocks walked total

WORKDONE = FORCE * DISPLACEMENT
W=F*S
HERE, THE FORCE = 100N AND DISTANCE = 20M
WORKDONE = 100*20
WORKDONE=2000
ITS S.I UNIT IS JOULE OR J
SO, 2000J

A tiger runs at 58 km/h [S]. What is the displacement of the tiger in 38 s?
Artyom0805 [142]
58 K/h = 58000/3600= 16.1 m/s
In 38 s displacement is 38x16.1= 612.2 m

To keep with the law of conservation of matter, determine the correct product for the following reaction:
user100 [1]

Answer:

B) PbI2 + 2 KCl

Explanation:

To keep the the law of conservation of matter, the equation given above must be balanced i.e the total element in the reactant must be equal to the total elements in the product.

Given the equation

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) →

At the reactant shown, there are one mole of lead Pb, 2 moles of chlorine Cl, 2moles of Potassium K and 2 moles of Iodine.

During reaction, the Chlorine atom will react with the potassium atom K and the lead atom Pb will react with the iodine atom.

The resulting product that will balance the chemical equation is

PbI2 + 2 KCl

The equation will then become

PbCl2 (aq) + 2 KI (aq) → PbI2 + 2 KCl

If we look at both sides of the equation, we will see that all the elements have the same number of atoms.
